I made tzatziki last night. Things will never be the same again. I was seriously thinking of ending the post at that but for those of you who want to know more, it was super light and very refreshing and the perfect compliment to anything from salmon to chicken to steak. If you are looking for a way to kick up the most basic protein or a simple spread for bread or crackers, whip up some of this dip. This Greek deliciousness did not disappoint. Aside from the mega garlic breath that ensued, I’m confident you will agree.

New York has been enjoying a pretty amazing summer season overall with mild humidity and comfortably cool evenings so it’s been a nice change of pace from the sticky, humid summers we are accustomed to. We are gearing up for a big family vacation later this month and since this summer seems to be flying by, I’ve been trying to soak up the sunshine as much as possible. I hope you’ve all been enjoying the weather as well. In the mean time, here are a few things keeping me happy.
